Video: Art Spiegelman Walks Through His Retrospective

A new retrospective of Art Spiegelman’s work opens today at the Jewish Museum in New York. Spiegelman is a little ambivalent about the prospect of having a retrospective, but he is happy to revisit works ranging from his early childhood cartoons to his seminal graphic novel, “Maus,” to his post-9/11 drawings. In this video, Spiegelman tours the gallery with his wife and collaborator, Françoise Mouly, and the curator Rina Zavagli-Mattotti, who organized the original retrospective in Angoulême, France.
